About Alpine Hotel, Warburton

Historic riverbank charm meets serious mountain comfort at Warburton’s revitalised lodge. Regulars settle into deep English sofas beside roaring wood fireplaces, defrosting over local pinot noir and hot plates of garlic focaccia with whipped ricotta. Crisp chicken parmas and fork-tender lamb shoulder outshine typical pub fare, served across cozy hearthside parlours. Cyclists pull straight in off the rail trail for dedicated bike storage, hearty feeds, and a quiet pint by the Yarra.

  • Historic Hearth Lounges: Deep English sofas, crackling indoor fires, and river-facing tables frame unhurried regional dining.
  • Cyclist Amenities: Secure lockups, a dedicated bike wash, and rear access directly onto the rail trail welcome trail riders.
  • Elevated Mountain Fare: Locally focused menus feature slow-cooked lamb shoulder, scotch eggs, and Yarra Valley wines.
